■Before calling for service, check the followings.
Foods freeze in the fresh food compartment
■
Has the temperature been on “7” continuously?
■
Is the temperature near refrigerator less than 5˚C?
■
Was moist foods such as vegetables placed just in front of the cold air duct?
Refrigerator never get cold.
■
Is there any power failure?
■
Is the mains plug firmly secured.
Refrigerator does not get cold enough.
■
Has the temperature been on “1” continuously? Set the temperature to “4”.
■
Has too hot food put in? Check food storage state.
■
Is the inside filled with too much food?
■
Is either door open or did you open and shut the doors too often?
■
Is there a gas range or a stove near the refrigerator? Is it under direct sun-light? Check the installation place.
Refrigerator is noisy.
■
Is the floor firm and level or the refrigerator levelled well ?
■
Is the back of refrigerator touching the wall ?
■
Check if either door is open.
■
Did you leave the doors open too
long or is moist food put with its lid
off ?
Moisture disappears naturally if
doors are closed, but it’s better to
wipe it off with dry cloth.
■
Have you dried and emptied the
evaporator dish?
■
Air ducts blocked with foods ?
■
Is strong odoring food stored
unwrapped ? Check the food storage
state.
* The vegetable cases are closed, so
deodorazing is almost impossible.
Moisture collects inside.
Water is flowing out when
moving the refrigerator.
Something smells.
Moisture is forming on
cabinet surface !
It sounds water-flowing
in the refrigerator.
Doors connot be
opened easily.
• Moisture can be formed during rainy season or continuous hot and
humid days.
Wipe out the surface with dry cloth.
• The sound can be heard when the compressor stops.
When refrigerant cools down, the system may make such a sound.
• Such case happens when you open the door right after closing it.
Do not try to force the doors to open; wait about 30 seconds or so.
Cabinet is warm.
Cracking sound comes
out of the inside.
Freezer compartment door
is opened and shut slightly
when fresh food compartment
door is closed.
Tiny frostwork forms inside
of the fresh food
compartment
• Front part of cabinet may get warm because of the hot-pipe to prevent
the forming of moisture.
• When the parts inside shrink and expand due to temperature change,
such sound can be heard.
• When you shut the fresh food compartment door quickly, the freezer
compartment door is opened and shut slightly by itself. That is
because of the condensed air in the fresh food compartment run to the
freezer compartment by closing the door.
• When the surrounding is hot and humid, if you open and shut the doors
frequently such happens. When you store watery food unwrapped,
such frostwork may form too. It is all because of the moist in the air
clung to the inside.
These are normal phenomenon.

1. Unplug the refrigerator.
2. Pull out the shelf.
3. Insert your finger into the groove under the light bulb and
turn to take it out.
4. Replace it with the same size and type of bulb.
Light bulb of fresh food compartment
■ Do not open and shut the doors, if possible, food can be stored
2~3 hours long even in the midsummer.
■
In case of predicted power failure, do not store any more food and make as much ice as you
can to put it on the upper shelf of fresh food compartment. The inside would be kept cold.
■ Clean the inside and leave the doors open for 2~3 days in order
to prevent mold development or odor saturation.
* Call the service center when you need help for replacing bulb.

7. Helpful Hints
8. Efficient Storage of Foods
■Be sure to wrap foods - fish, meat, etc. - to be stored in the freezer compartment to avoid odor.
■Wipe the packed foods, wash
vegetables.
■If hot food is put in immediately,
the temperature inside rises up,
resulting in waste of electricity.
■Dividing food into one-time
serving and storage makes it easy
to take out, enhancing
refrigerating power. Frozed food
can be thawed easily.
Keep foods clean ! Cool down to room temperature ! Divide foods into one-time serving !
Wrap foods ! Do not fill the inside up ! Open and shut doors quickly !
When you replace the light bulbs
In case of
power failure
When not
using for
a long time
Wipe out
divide!
Hot Food
■Make sure to wrap foods such as
Kimchi and fish in order to
prevent drying and odor.
■Too much food will interfere with
cold air circulation. Do not place
watery food close
to the cold air
ducts.
■
Frequent opening and shutting doors
causes loss of cold air, waste of
electricity
weakening of
refrigerating
power.
